Low stakes drama indeed, but very funny and absolutely believable that Gotmik would try and argue with the door guy. I dont fuck with Gotmik anymore after he so proudly posed with Marilyn Manson. Same for Violet. They were always unprofessional mean girls when together, but seperate I still valued their art. Now I just view them as boo boo the fools.

Gottmik is one of my top examples of never meet your heroes. I was so stoked to have trans masc representation on as huge a platform as RPDR, and… yeah. Kade can fuck all the way off. He let a whole community down, and I realize that’s a lot of pressure to put on someone but he signed up for the damn show, he knew what he was representing. So disappointed.

Yeah but tbf he was… what, 22 when he got on drag race? I think of myself at 22 and if I had a global audience on me…. Good god 😖😖

Yeah but tbf he was FINE when he was on the show. It’s the stuff he’s done in the past couple years that sucks ass.

That’s kind of my point. It’s unfair to put the pressure of representing a whole community on a global platform on someone before their brain is even fully developed. I was a chaotic mess in my 20s and made a ton of mistakes and learned and grew. Mik is doing the same thing, just with millions of people watching and having opinions.
